I got The Housemaid series for Christmas and was eager to read it since I saw the first book was made into a movie.
Millie is an interesting character who guards her secrets well. Despite having obvious secrets I liked Millie and I was rooting for her to get a happy ending. Yet liking Millie was not enough to make me keep flipping the pages early on in the story. Figuring things were being set up for some big reveal I was confused as to why the story did not have a mystery or thriller aspect until wham out of no where it hit me and I could not stop reading.
The more I read Mrs. McFadden's books the more I see she is either an author you love or dislike. No real in between for her. Thankfully I love her writing, her plots, her twists, and her characters. Since I have The Housemaid's Secret I don't have to even wait to start it tonight.
